trip report by site editor Rick McCharles
What’s a pseudocrater?
… a volcanic landform which resembles a true volcanic crater, but differs in that it is not an actual vent from which lava has erupted. …
They are pretty good fakes.
The best examples of pseudocraters are found near Lake Mývatn (lake of MIDGES) and on Mars.
